Introduction to C: Basics //a simple program that has variables #include <stdio.h> int main() { int x; //(32 bits) char y; //(8 bits) float z; //(32 bits) double t; //(64 bits) printf(“hello world…\n”); int test; //wrong, The variable declaration must appear first return 0; } manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: Basics //reading input from console #include <stdio.h> int main() { int num1; int num2; printf( "Please enter two numbers: " ); scanf( "%d %d", &num1,&num2 ); printf( "You entered %d %d", num1, num2 ); return 0; } manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: if statement #include <stdio.h> int main() { int age; /* Need a variable... */ printf( "Please enter your age" ); /* Asks for age */ scanf( "%d", &age ); /* The input is put in age */ if ( age < 100 ) { /* If the age is less than 100 */ printf ("You are pretty young!\n" ); /* Just to show you it works... */ } else if ( age == 100 ) { /* I use else just to show an example */ printf( "You are old\n" ); else printf( "You are really old\n" ); /* Executed if no other statement is*/ return 0; manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: Loops(for) #include <stdio.h> int main() { int x; /* The loop goes while x < 10, and x increases by one every loop*/ for ( x = 0; x < 10; x++ ) /* Keep in mind that the loop condition checks the conditional statement before it loops again. consequently, when x equals 10 the loop breaks. x is updated before the condition is checked. */ printf( "%d\n", x ); } return 0; manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: Loops(while) #include <stdio.h> int main() { int x = 0; /* Don't forget to declare variables */ while ( x < 10 ) { /* While x is less than 10 */ printf( "%d\n", x ); x++; /* Update x so the condition can be met eventually */ } return 0; manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: Loops(do while) #include <stdio.h> int main() { int x; x = 0; do /* "Hello, world!" is printed at least one time even though the condition is false*/ printf( "%d\n", x ); x++; } while ( x != 10 ); return 0; } manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: Loops(break and continue) #include <stdio.h> int main() { int x; for(x=0;x<10;x++) if(x==5) continue; } printf("%d\n",x); return 0; #include <stdio.h> int main() { int x; for(x=0;x<10;x++) if(x==5) break; } printf("%d\n",x); return 0; 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: function #include <stdio.h> //function declaration int mult ( int x, int y ); int main() { int x; int y; printf( "Please input two numbers to be multiplied: " ); scanf( "%d", &x ); scanf( "%d", &y ); printf( "The product of your two numbers is %d\n", mult( x, y ) ); return 0; } //define the function body //return value: int //utility: return the multiplication of two integer values //parameters: take two int parameters int mult (int x, int y) return x * y; manjari2707.wordpress.com

switch case #include <stdio.h> //function declaration, need to define the function body in other places void playgame(); void loadgame(); void playmultiplayer(); int main() { int input; printf( "1. Play game\n" ); printf( "2. Load game\n" ); printf( "3. Play multiplayer\n" ); printf( "4. Exit\n" ); printf( "Selection: " ); scanf( "%d", &input ); switch ( input ) { case 1: /* Note the colon, not a semicolon */ playgame(); break; //don't forget the break in each case case 2: loadgame(); break; case 3: playmultiplayer(); case 4: printf( "Thanks for playing!\n" ); default: printf( "Bad input, quitting!\n" ); } return 0; switch case manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: pointer variables Pointer variables are variables that store memory addresses. Pointer Declaration: int x, y = 5; int *ptr; /*ptr is a POINTER to an integer variable*/ Reference operator &: ptr = &y; /*assign ptr to the MEMORY ADDRESS of y.*/ Dereference operator *: x = *ptr; /*assign x to the int that is pointed to by ptr */ manjari2707.wordpress.com

#include <stdio.h> //swap two values void swap(int* iPtrX,int* iPtrY); void fakeswap(int x, int y); int main() { int x = 10; int y = 20; int *p1 = &x; int *p2 = &y; printf("before swap: x=%d y=%d\n",x,y); swap(p1,p2); printf("after swap: x=%d y=%d\n",x,y); printf("------------------------------\n"); printf("before fakeswap: x=%d y=%d\n",x,y); fakeswap(x,y); printf("after fakeswap: x=%d y=%d",x,y); return 0; } void swap(int* iPtrX, int* iPtrY) int temp; temp = *iPtrX; *iPtrX = *iPtrY; *iPtrY = temp; void fakeswap(int x,int y) temp = x; x = y; y = temp; manjari2707.wordpress.com

Introduction to C: struct #include <stdio.h> //group things together struct database { int id_number; int age; float salary; }; int main() { struct database employee; employee.age = 22; employee.id_number = 1; employee.salary = 12000.21; } manjari2707.wordpress.com

File I/O mode: r - open for reading //content in in.list //foo 70 //bar 98 //biz 100 #include <stdio.h> int main() { FILE *ifp, *ofp; char *mode = "r"; char outputFilename[] = "out.list"; char username[9]; int score; ifp = fopen("in.list", mode); if (ifp == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Can't open input file in.list!\n"); exit(1); } ofp = fopen(outputFilename, "w"); if (ofp == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Can't open output file %s!\n", outputFilename); while (fscanf(ifp, "%s %d", username, &score) == 2) { fprintf(ofp, "%s %d\n", username, score+10); fclose(ifp); fclose(ofp); return 0; mode: r - open for reading w - open for writing (file need not exist) a - open for appending (file need not exist) r+ - open for reading and writing, start at beginning w+ - open for reading and writing (overwrite file) a+ - open for reading and writing (append if file exists) File I/O manjari2707.wordpress.com
